If indeed Ibn al-Husayn's poetry excels, it is only
If Ibn al-Husayn's poetry overflows abundantly,
gifts that make it so, and largesse opens mouths.
Then it is because your gifts and charms unlock inspiration.

He claimed prophethood out of pride in his verse; and had he known
He would be amazed at his own poems, if only he knew
that you recite it, he would then have claimed divinity.
That it is you who inspires them, else they'd not exist.
